The North America activated carbon market growth analysis includes the assessment of the United States and Canada. The increase in urbanization and industrialization has radically accelerated air pollution rates in the United States. This factor, in turn, has generated a surging need for air purification systems with activated carbon for the removal of mercury from the flue gas. Several manufacturers in the United States are also concentrating on activated carbon products. In this regard, American Activated Carbon Corp is a leader in terms of supplying activated carbon for air and water purification applications across the United States. Furthermore, a new and emerging use of activated carbon in the nation entails capacitors for energy applications as well as the batteries used in hybrid vehicles.

The United States has also been using granular activated carbon adsorption techniques since 2015, primarily for the advanced or tertiary treatment of industrial and municipal wastewater. The use of these techniques is predicted to increase significantly over the upcoming years. Additionally, the food & beverage industry in the United States is a major part of the nation’s economy, accounting for approximately 5% of the gross domestic product (GDP). The rapidly-developing industry comprises over 27,000 organizations and employs around 1.5 million people, which further propels the demand for activated carbon in the country. Thus, such factors are anticipated to bolster the activated carbon market growth in North America during the forecast years.

The North America activated carbon market is segmented into product type, raw material, and end-user. The product type segment includes granulated activated carbon (GAC), powdered activated carbon (PAC), and other product types. Powdered activated carbon (PAC) is typically considered a particle less than the United States standard 80 mesh size, making it ideal for water treatment. In this regard, PAC is a reliable and economical water treatment option for odor and taste control, in addition to the removal of organic compounds. 

The use of PAC is advantageous economically and is beneficial to the environment, as well, since it minimizes operating costs, facilitates the conservation of resources, produces minimal waste sludge, and provides superior water quality. The addition of PAC also stabilizes biological systems against shock loading while lowering disposal expenses during the removal of soluble organics.

Some of the leading companies operating in the North America activated carbon market are Cabot Corporation, Oxbow Activated Carbon LLC, Prominent Systems Inc, etc.

Cabot Corporation, headquartered in the United States, is mainly engaged in the manufacturing of performance materials as well as specialty chemicals. The company’s main products include fumed metal oxides, inkjet colorants, specialty grade carbon blacks, activated carbon, rubber and aerogel, and cesium formate drilling fluids. Cabot Corporation’s four operational business segments include performance materials, purification solutions, reinforcement materials, and advanced technologies.
